About This Partner
Manorhamilton Historical Society is a community-based heritage organisation dedicated to promoting interest in the history, heritage, and archaeology of Manorhamilton and the surrounding North Leitrim area. The Society plays a vital role in preserving, interpreting, and sharing the town’s nearly 400-year history since its establishment in the 1630s by Sir Frederick Hamilton. The organisation possesses a strong record of community heritage activities, including hosting lectures, guided outings, exhibitions, commemorative events, and local historical projects. Working in partnership with the STRIDE programme, the Society is digitizing its dispersed historical materials to create a central, publicly accessible digital heritage platform. This initiative ensures that local stories, photographs, documents, and oral histories are safeguarded for future generations while remaining manageable for a volunteer-led team.
